In April my attention has been focused on analysis of endothelial cell adhesion results for the genipin cross-linked coatings. Moreover, I prepared similar samples for HUVECs viability and functionality determination during long-term cell culture. I also performed the ATR-FTIR measurements of PLL/HA multilayer coatings cross-linked with various genipin concentration. The results obtained so far were presented at Materials Science for Industry Symposium. The main objective of my speech entitled "Polyelectrolyte multilayer biomimetic coatings for surface modification of cardiovascular devices" was to show industry representatives the direction of current research work in the field of the heart supporting systems development.

We finally managed to sent out the paper. How anxious one becomes awaiting the response from the editor is only known to those who have sent out out their first paper and awaited the reply impatiently.
Work continues...

Performance of the MD simulation for liquid binary alloys. An examination of the physical, structural and dynamic properties of these metallic systems using classical approach.

I’ve submit my recent publication to Journal of Alloy and Compounds on 3 April …and it’s already accepted to be published! :) I’ll inform you when it will be available on-line.

As I supposed the carrier lifetime studies did not fare well. Any slightest modification affects the results. The results do not coincide in the series. Any defects present in the wafers or other grains distribution significantly change the lifetime. Also each mixture etch the silicon wafer in the different way - different surface morphology and thickness of eatched layer. Too many variables force to simplify the experiment. In the next step monocrystalline silicon will be used.
